    This is my entry for the AM contest: Project Wake-Up Call :-)

    The idea is, that sooner or later account holders will use software (clients, BC Explorer, etc.) that will show the plain text messages received on their account.

    Thus, I sent out plain text messages to all accounts with more than 50.000 NXT in it that have no public key (204 accounts in total).

    The message says:

    Quote
    Your NXT account is not fully protected! Please visit http://goo.gl/7vvRJl to learn more.

    The link in the message goes to http://nxtsolaris.wordpress.com/nxt-no-public-key-landing-page/ which gives a short explanation on how to secure an account by doing an outgoing transaction.

     Wink

    The main goal of this little project was to find bugs in my clients (I think the only way I can win a prize in the AM contest with this is, if only two other people take part... ;-) )

    I found three bugs with this project in my client and one of them was that I didn't correctly add public keys created through forging in my account list.

    So, 60 of the 204 account I sent a message to, actually have a public key in the blockchain and got a false warning message.

    I'll send out a second "go-to-sleep-again" message to these 60 later today.



    what was the total messaging fee ....1 nxt per msg sent? or did you send in bulk?....just curious
